Used up 45min solar
I used up all my 45min for the solar, does that mean I have no access to it anymore? I got in again after using up the time, after I click continue, it won't let me in it says stuff like " you have used up all 45 min,,,blah blah blah) is that just an error?
still have to make changes

How the heck do you use up 45 minutes on solar??? Have never heard of that message appearing, but maybe you are only allowed 45 minutes a day on SOLAR... Still though, this is why you are supposed to go on once you have worked out the changes you want to make. Most people take under 10 minutes to do so.

So you're the one using all 45 mins while everyone else just wants in for 2 mins! Ahaha
I didnt think it was like a 45 min TOTAL limit, I thought it was 45 mins at a time, you should be able to go back in and get a whole nother 45 mins.

But dont! People need u outta there!

I thought I would be able to finish within 2secs.. Already had multiple plans to change my timetable.. But there are just so many possibilities,,, like this one is full so then I have to move this to different place.. Then this and that bah blah blah,, but I'm not sure if I did actually used up all 45 min... Cause they forced me out like twice only after like 3 minutes.

Log yourself out of mugsi completely & log in again.
& Start all over.

Pretty sure the timer starts when you log on to MUGSI, or something to that effect. If you ever find yourself on for more than a half an hour, you might as well log out and log back in, in between your mouse button mashing (or scripting, usually a lot more effective).

It's not an error. You have to finish all your changes within 45 minutes or you're bumped out of the system and none of your changes are saved. Sometimes there's glitches though and you can get bumped out after barely any time at all (which has happened to me... it sucks after spending hours trying to get in).

You can try to get back into Solar immediately. I suggest having all of your changes planned out ahead of time, plus some back up options, to avoid this problem in the future.

Make sure you log out properly whenever you're done, or it will still count 45mins AND you're taking up a spot.

And yeah, you should prepare ahead of time, anticipating that things will likely be full, having multiple back-ups, etc, so that you can do what you have to do quickly.
If you don't give a sh*t about preventing other people from getting on, at least doing this will prevent all of your changes from being lost when the system kicks you out
